My guess is that it would be more of a negative(RPI) for their bskball team than a $ savings for a big school like those mentioned.

every p5 has 5-7 games vs teams w/ terrible rpi. no reason one of those shouldn't be against us.

Plus Texas State finished last year with an RPI of .498, which was good enough to rank 172 out of 351. Is that the best finish ever? They are moving in the right direction, I expect the RPI to improve this season. Put the updated University Events Center with the better RPI, I think we will get OOC games at home that would entice me to make the drive from Houston to see in person.

Re: Looking ahead

Now I agree that the improvements to Strahan should hopefully entice a few more "name" schools to visit, but I just don't see the gain(again rpi or sos) for the other schools program. True our men did very well compared to past years, but we need to continue improving and get to a certain level of standing in order for good teams to want to come to TXST. I know this was discussed in another thread on this site. Also, DK and the AD have to get those good teams here, and I don't think they are ready to do that yet.

Re: Looking ahead

Don't take what I'm saying and think I don't want to see schools like FSU, CU and such play in SM. I would make the drive too from Houston if on a weekend. I want us to be successful and go to more post season tournaments just as much as the next TXST sports fan. I'm just trying to be realistic about our program.
